Abstract:
Patients suffering from alcohol use disorder (AUD) are at risk for malnutrition. The mechanisms are presented in this article. Nutrition disorders in the patient with AUD can include malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity. They may contribute to tissue damage and to oncological and cognitive disorders encountered among patients with AUD. Refeeding syndrome can appear during the withdrawal period. A nutrition evaluation should be included in the evaluation of all patients with AUD.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
